SGML-TeX conference, Groningen, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 39-42
keywords: SGML, conference
abstract: For their second full-day international meeting, the Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep (NTG) organised, in conjunction with the Dutch SGML Users Group, a conference intended to focus interest on the use of TeX and SGMLtogether. On August 31st, approximately 100 delegates from both `camps' attended the day's events in Groningen, with what seemed a good balance between SGML-ers and TeXies.

Towards LaTeX 3.0, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 49-54
keywords: LaTeX 3.0
abstract: LaTeX is a very valuable tool for document composition. As a TeX macro package, it is unique in its concept of logical commands, at the same time retaining enough flexibility with visually oriented commands to allow the user a relatively easy correction of an automatically chosen layout. This fact makes it far superior to the plain and AMS-TeX macro packages when it comes to professional applications. Therefore the LaTeX re-implementation project is certainly one of the most important efforts to `expand TeX's horizon'. This is the place to link TeX with the modern developments like SGML. This paper describes the current status of the re-implementation of LaTeX.

Getting TeXnical: Insight into TeX Macro Writing Techniques, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 55-66
keywords: macro writing, techniques
abstract: Most of us understand the basic form of TeX macros but that understanding alone is often inadequate when we need to solve certain problems. We need additional insight to be able to develop methods of passing information, moving text with changed catcodes, preserving blank lines, and more. Writing a large macro package brings in a new set of issues: how toavoid bumping into implementation restrictions, e.g., constraints of hash size, string size, and others; how to make a pleasant user interface; how to make your code as concise as possible. Some of the techniques to be discussed here include making a macro with a variable number of arguments; changing catcodes in macros, defining a macro whose argument is intentionally never used; conserving hash size by using counters instead of newifs; csname techniques and non-outer dynamic allocation; and table making techniques. Finally, some suggestions are included on methods to use when developing new macros.

The Dutch national LaTeX effort, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 71-74
keywords: LaTeX, Dutch
abstract: In this article an overview is given of the activities of working group 13 (WG 13) of the `Nederlandstalige TeX Gebruikersgroep' (Dutch TeX Users Group). This working group is also called `Neerlandica', and is interested in anything that has something to do with using LaTeX (and TeX) in a non-American environment. The topics tackled so far range from the design of a page layout suitable for A4 paper by adapting the American layout of article.sty to Dutch typographical tastes, to the implementation of a new letter style called `brief'.

TUGboat production: TeX, LaTeX, and paste-up, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 77-84
keywords: TUGboat, production
abstract: TUGboat has now completed more than ten years of publication. Starting with TeX78 and an electrostatic printer and progressing through increasingly versatile software and hardware, the authors have kept us challenged, both with the content that the reader sees and the little tricks that happen `under the covers'. This talk will be a survey of some of the milestones of TUGboat production, our editorial philosophy, what we've learned about what TeX can and cannot do, and some advice to authors and production editors of other publications.

An indentation scheme, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 118-121
keywords: indentation, paragraphs
abstract: Indentation is one of the simpler things in TeX: if you leave one input line open you get a new paragraph, and it is indented unless you say \noindent. And if you get tired of writing \noindent all of the time, you declare \parindent=0pt at the start of your document. Easy. More sophisticated approaches to indentation are possible, however. In this article I will sketch a quite general approach that can easily be incorporated in existing macro packages. For a better appreciation of what goes on, I will start with a tutorial section on what happens when TeX starts a paragraph.

A parskip scheme, English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 122-124
keywords: \parskip, \everypar, paragraphs, skips
abstract: In this article I will present an approach that unifies the paragraph skip and the white spaces surroundingvarious environments. Since the macros given below make use of the \everypar token list, this article may be seen as a sequel to an earlier paper on an indentation scheme, which is based on a similar principle. The \everypar parameter was explained there.

SGML (,TeX and ...), English, MAPS 5, 1990, pp. 125-140
keywords: SGML
abstract: What SGML (and TeX) is all about is given in a nutshell. Markup of example document elements, by SGML and LaTeX, are provided. Coupling SGML to TeX is considered by direct translation and by the intermediate procedural markup phase. Interfacing SGML to (La)TeX is also addressed. Some guidelines are provided in order to decide when SGML, or TeX (alone, both, or neither) might be beneficial. It is a 3-in-1 paper: what is SGML and TeX all about, examples of marked up copy in SGML and (La)TeX and the coupling issues, finished up with a literature compilation.
